I haven't flown in years, so my knowledge of FAA regulations is not up to date. However, I believe that the FAA recommends* that small children be in car seats for flights.

I can't help but think that this problem could have been prevented had the parents put their child in a FAA-approved 5-point harness car seat, one with which the child was already accustomed, and one that is harder to wriggle out of.

*Based on my reading, the FAA opted against making this a mandatory measure .. some poppycock about it being a deterrent against flying and an incentive to drive, which is more dangerous.

Love the aroma, hate the chicken.
